RULES

CHECK-IN

All registered players must check in during the check-in window in the Limitless Tournament System before the start of the tournament AND before each match. 3 MINUTE CHECK-IN
FAILURE TO CHECK-IN PRIOR to the start of the tournament will result in being DROPPED from the tournament. Failure to check-in or improper check-in before the timer is out results in GAME LOSS.

INCORRECT DECK

Tournament Deck MUST MATCH the decklist submission with NO CHANGES during the tournament. If the player selected wrong: 1) Stop Play, Alert Opponent & Call Judge 2) If no Prize Cards were taken & 20+ min left in round → Game Reset

MATCH REPORTING & JUDGE CALLS

All Matches MUST be reported using the Limitless System. If Time is called in the Round, Unreported Matches will result in a TIE. If concession occurs, REPORT the match on Limitless in the correct way it ends! (Screenshot proof is HIGHLY recommended!) All Judge Calls will be handled on Limitless using the ‘Judge Call’ Function on the Match Dashboard. Judges are not guaranteed to reply in Discord in a timely manner. Discord will be utilized for investigation and communication AFTER the Judge has been called. In some cases, you may be asked to share your screen in the Discord channel, This will help the Staff understand each situation and approach it correctly. Judges MAY issue a time extension in specific circumstances if certain conditions are met.

INTENTIONAL SLOWPLAY

If you feel your Opponent is Intentionally Slowplaying for whatever reason, please do one of the following:
1) Stream Match in Discord Channel, contact Staff, and allow them to review the gameplay
2) Screenshot the current game showing the Time Remaining for each player on the Right side to show any disparity in each player's ‘Time Remaining’.

BUGS & GLITCHES

Knowing the client and its possible issues, any Bugs or Glitches (for example Frozen Game, Connection Issues, Glitched Card, etc.) that occur in any given game or match will have to be played through if at all possible! We have zero control over many of the issues from PTCGL.
If unable to continue in its given state, a GAME LOSS will be attributed to the player who is the cause or the one experiencing these issues. (Whichever player can produce the VICTORY screen will be declared the winner unless otherwise investigated.)
If both players agree, they can RESTART and ATTEMPT to finish a 2nd game within the time remaining in the round. These matches will result in a TIE if not completed before time! However, if the issue persists, a Game Loss goes to the player experiencing these issues. All issues are reviewable by the Tournament Staff if given the proper evidence and Communicated with the Staff. (Screenshots, Chat Communication, Match Streaming, etc)

STREAMING

Players are allowed to stream their personal event experience on any streaming service and it is recommended to have a delay on your stream to avoid "stream sniping" or any other disadvantages. Any advantages gained by streaming, such as receiving assistance from your audience, can lead to penalties after staff investigates the situation.

REWARDS

Codes will be distributed through the Limitless rewards system, found under your Limitless Profile→History→Rewards within 48 hours after the tournament has ended. We will make an announcement in the Discord channel when codes are distributed.
